Prop Question
I have a 2000 Outback LS- It has a 3 blade on it. What advantages would I get if I changed it to a 4 blade?
Thanks

Better hole-shot, less top end depending on the pitch.

I just crunched up my 4 blade and went back to a 3 blade OJ 13x13, I think. I have a lot more top end and I don't notice any difference in hole shot. But the previous owner used to load some serious ballast and lots of guys in the boat and used the 4 blade for the low end to get it moving. My knees aren't good enough to put on that kind of ballast and I don't have many friends so I don't really need the extra help. I do run up river 4-5 miles to our ski and boarding spots so I'm loving the faster top end. It will go over 45 now.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

Thanks Kane for the info. I guess I just have a stock on right now, but I am not sure. I would like the top end too. We tend to drive 20 or so miles to the next town marina so it would be nice for the speed.
